Questions
What does a quote check look for?
What the quote covers and what's missing, red flags such as a deposit over 30% or no license number, and whether the total falls within a typical price range for the job. You also get questions to ask the contractor before you sign.
What should I photograph?
Every page of the quote, including the line items, the total, the payment terms and the contractor's details. You can add up to three photos.
Is a large deposit a red flag?
Often, yes. A common guideline is 30% or less up front, and some states cap it. Ask to tie payments to finished milestones instead.
Does it tell me whether the contractor is good?
No. It reviews the quote itself. Look up their license with your state board, read reviews, and get two or three quotes for bigger jobs.
Is my first quote check free?
Yes. It's free with no account. After that, creating an account starts a 7-day free trial with no card, then it's $9.99/month or $69.99/year.
